Zionist's anti-Soviet lies

By JOSHUA GERSHMAN
(Editor, Canadian Jewish Weekly)

Mitchell Sharp, Canada’s
minister of foreign affairs, found
it necessary to appeal to the
leaders of Canada’s Jewish com-
munity to desist from extreme
actions during the visit of Prem-
ier Kosygin as guest of our
country. In a letter to Mr. Sol
Litmar, editor of Canadian Jew-
ish News, as well as the Mon-
roe Abbey, president of the
Canadian Jewish Congress,
Mr. Sharp clearly and sharp-
ly expressed the concern
of the Canadian government
that nothing should take place
during this visit to interfere
with the improvement of Can-
ada’s relations with the Soviet
Union.

How did the “Jewish estab-
lishment” react to the wise ap-
peal of the minister of foreign
affairs?

Inspired by _ reactionary
leaders of the Zionist organiza-
tion, Canadian Jewish Congress
spokesmen arrogantly ignored
Minister Sharp’s appeal and pro-
ceeded with plans of demonstra-
tions against Premier Kosygin—
actions contrary to the interests
and desires of the Canadian

glorious Canadian autumn sun-
shine, from the windows of the
buildings, the Bell-Northern Re-
search employees evinced their
enthusiastic interest in the So-
viet premier’s visit.

The president of the great la-
boratory, Dr. Donald Chisholm,
welcoming Mr. Kosygin said,
“This is not the first time we
have received visitors from the
USSR . . . we have found these
visits very stimulating and we
hope they continue.”

The open, warm and friendly
reception accorded Premier Ko-
sygin by these scientific work-
ers on this memorable occasion
—this is the true feeling of the
Canadian people.

dollars, and to modify its trade
pacts. The Trudeau government
did so in 1970, and the Canadian
dollar went up from 92 to 98
cents. But, the higher exchange
value of the dollar helped ito
worsen unemployment in Can-
ada. Now there is pressure on
us to raise the Canadian dollar
to $1.02. If this is done, it will
create additional harm to our
economy, and will further limit
the markets for Canadian agri-
cultural and manufacturing pro-
ducts. And if we modify the auto
pact, as the U.S. monopolies are
demanding, it would lead to the
unemployment of Canadian auto
workers.

people and against the interests
of the world movement for re-
laxation of tensions and peace.

The leaders of the Jewish
establishment are ready to enter
into official partnership with
anti-Semitic fascist leaders of
Ukrainian and other Slavic re-
actionary organizations. Pet-
lura’s henchmen and ‘other po-
gromists, dyed in the wool
enemies of the Soviet Union, the
working class movement and
progress, are snugly ensconsed
in the bosom of the Jewish es-
tablishment supposedly in the
interests of “the fate of Soviet
Jews.”

And the hooligan gang of
Rabbi Meir Kahane, the Jewish
Defense League, goes even fur-
ther. On instruction of their
headquarters in New York it
prepares a demonstration of its
own the day Premier Kosygin
visits Toronto. Its Toronto lead-
er declared that invitations have
been extended to Estonians, Lat-
vians and “all others who sym-
pathize with the cause of Soviet
Jews,” and when asked by a re-
porter whether the JDL will ac-
cept support and participation
of the anti-Semitic fascist Ed-
mund Burke Society (a copy of
the USA Birchites) its leader
stated, “of everyone who will
support us.”

And the above mentioned
Canadian Jewish News, pres-
ently owned by three Jewish
finance tycoons, part of the
Jewish Welfare Fund which
aims to achieve hegemony of
Jewish community life in Can-
ada, does not hesitate to reject
Mitchell Sharp’s appeal for “re-
straint” and for as friendly and
courteous a reception of Kosy-
gin as that extended Prime Min-
ister Trudeau by the Soviet
people last May. To justify the
criminal deeds of the Jewish
establishment, the editor of this
paper dares to state editorially
that “the lives of our brothers
in the Soviet Union are. at
stake” and therefore ‘‘we’’ must
place this above all other con-
siderations.

This unspeakable slander that
the life of even a single Jew is
in danger in the Soviet Union
has been more than once con-
demned by Dr. Nahum Goldman,
president of the World Jewish
Congress as well as by rabbis
of a number of countries, just
as they have condemned the
disgraceful comparison of the
Soviet Union with Hitler Ger-
many—and yet, to justify their

irresponsible actions against
friendly relations with our

northern neighbor,. they dare

the processing of Canadian raw
materials under public owner-
ship, and new trade policies with
Latin America, the socialist
countries, the newly emerging
countries, on a mutually satis-
factory basis. He said, we must
put an end to Canada’s depen-
dence on the U.S. market,
which is undermining the inde-
pendence of Canada.

“Those who propose a com-
mon market with the USA as
the answer to the crisis are, in
effect, calling for Canada to be
a hewer of wood and a drawer
of water and gas for U.S. im-
perialism, with Canada’s politi-
cal independence going down
the drain,” he said, ‘and its
ability to survive as an indepen-
dent country being seriously
undermined.”

Pee:

print for the benefit of the naive
and ignorant that canard about
the lives of Soviet Jews.

The Jewish establishment
usually follows the dictates of
the government in power. Fol-
lowing World War Two, it re-
fused to participate in the
struggle against German rearma-
ment, and against the release of
Nazi criminals because Ottawa
“so ordered. The Jewish estab-
lishment has for years failed to
participate in any meaningful
fight for civil rights or any other
laudable goals because that
_would be against the will of
those in authority.

The Canadian Jewish Con-
gress, the Federated Zionist or-
ganization, the B’nai B’rith are
conspicuous by their absence
from the ever-growing peace
movements. They failed to con-
demn the murderous U.S. ag-
gression in Vietnam, and of
course did not protest against
Canadian complicity in that
senseless bloodbath—all because
such was the course of Cana-
dian governing circles.

But for the first time, now
that improvement of relations
with USSR is involved, the Jew-
ish establishment does _ act
againt the policy and wishes of
Ottawa. For in this case an im-
portant and direct role is being
played by Jewish reaction on a
world scale, from Jerusalem to
New York, Paris, and Montreal.

Honest Jewish Canadians,
when they look seriously into
the matter can’t help but realize
that the Jewish establishment is
yery little concerned about the
cultural life of Soviet Jews or
their welfare. They must con-
demn the establishment’s part-
nership with pogromists, anti-
Semitic fascists, and-~as loyal
Canadians and peace loving
people earnestly support true
friendship with all peoples, in-
cluding the Soviet Union and
other socialist countries as the
only road to achieving world
peace.

We sharply condemn the anti-
Soviet hate campaign and the
ugly provocative demonstrations
against our country’s guest,
Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin.
We call upon Canadian Jewry
not to be misled by harmful
propaganda and align them-
selves with all Canadians who
desire meaningful friendship
with the Soviet Union as with
all other countries.

MOSCOW All Moscow
newspapers are devoting much

space to Premier Kosygin’s visit
to Canada. In numerous. inter-
views with prominent people
and commentaries of  well-
known columnists the hope is
expressed that Kosygin’s visit
will be just as successful as the
Soviet visit of Prime Minister
Trudeau last May.

Canadian ambassador A. D.
Ford told a Moscow News re-
porter that following Trudeau’s
trip “our relations have now
reached a higher level .. . and I
think that in the light of broad-
ening relations between Canada
and the USSR in all fields, Mr.

NEW YORK — The voice of
labor came across loud and
clear in the Oct. 13 rallies across
the United States in observa-

tion of the Moratorium against |
‘the Vietnam war. And in every

city sights were being set on
Nov. 6, the next target date set
by labor and the united peace
forces for the fall anti-war of-
fensive.

Thousands of workers throng-
ed the garment district here in a
rally sponsored by a_ broad
coalition of labor leaders. Emil
Mazey, secretary-treasurer of
the United Auto Workers, blast-
ed the Nixon administration for
“dumping the $200 billion cost
of the war on the backs of
working people.” He cited the
war as “the principal cause of
inflation.”

Thousands of angry voices
shouted “aye” to the resolution
read by rally chairman David
Livingstone, president of Dis-
trict 65 Distributive Workers,
sent to President Nixon. The
resolution stated:

“This Moratorium Day rally
of thousands of New York
trade unionists demends that
you act now to end the shame-
ful war in Vietnam, with at

least the same decisiveness and § gtration on the SOU

ing our wages and depriving us
of our rightful wage increases.
‘Tt is for this reason, among
others, that we are appalled at
the failure of our government to
respond to the latest peace pro-

.posals put forward over two

months ago.” Stop this senseless
and immoral killing. END THE
WAR NOW!”

In Washington Rep. Ronald
Dellums told a cheering throng
on the U.S. Capitol that the
anti-war movement “must turn
the U.S. around” by forcing an
end to the Indochina war. He
urged the building of a massive
national coalition of working
class people, black, brown and
white, for the 1972 elections to
defeat President Nixon and
drastically increase the number
of congressmen and women
committed to social change.

The Black congressman de-
clared, “We need to put a stop
to the politics of death, in favor
of the politics of life .. . I pledge
you my continued support”.

that both countries have yet
very much to do in connection
with the development of the
vast Northern territories. It is
self-understood that coopera-

terest to both countries.”

International commentator An-
atoly Belobrov wrote: “Let us
firmly stress the fact that Prime
Minister Trudeau’s visit to the
USSR last may was the first
ever made to the Soviet: Union
by the head of the government
of Canada during three decades

our countries were allies in the
struggle against fascism.
